She had never been one to stand out. Even her quirk wasn't anything special, it was just kind of there. With her slightly below average height, average figure, straight black hair, okay grades, and a personality that really didn't help her stand out in any way, Eiko had gotten used to simply blending in. Especially when compared to her friends, friends like Mina, who despite being just slightly taller than Eiko with about the same build, had the looks and personality of someone that was built for the spotlight.

For a while she had been jealous that she never stood out, wishing she was taller, wondering why her quirk was just kind of not interesting, considering dying her hair or getting some kind of a piercing or something, anything to make her not be so plain.

But, now that the spotlight was on her, she had no idea what to do besides stand there awkwardly and wave at people.

"Do I look bad?" Eiko asked, looking towards Mina. They were both dressed in their gym uniforms; Eiko was very aware of just how many people were looking at her. Which was most of them. Not that she could really blame them, she didn't even recognize herself, especially since her haircut. As it stood, she had just enough flaming red hair to be called a pixie cut. While it did look cute, it was a drastic change from her normal shoulder length black hair.

That, and her horns were starting to come in. They weren't as tall as Mina's were just yet, but they were black and a lot thicker, clashing against her red hair and telling the entire world that she now had a set of horns.

Eiko ran her hand along the side of her head, feeling just how short her hair was, too short to even tuck behind her ear. Still, she was now aware of just how fast her hair actually grew. It had only been a few weeks since her roots had turned red, and there was already enough for a pixie cut.

And her hair and horns weren't the only thing that had changed. She was still growing taller, she had gone from kind of short for a girl, to average, to now, tall for a girl. And approaching into the realm of just plain tall. She was still surprised when she encountered someone that used to be taller than her, but was now either eye level or just plain shorter than her. She could even reach the top shelf of a lot of things now, and also knock a lot of things over, in part due to her now larger limbs highlighting her already natural clumsiness.

Then there was the rest of her body. In a word, she was officially busty. None of her pants fit anymore so she had been relegated to skirts for the most part, and all of her bras were now either sports bras that left her with red marks from where the fabric dug into her skin, or discount bikini tops that were a poor substitute, though much easier to resize.

In short, her body was doing weird things and her wardrobe, life, schooling, and her ability to be not awkward were in complete shambles. Well, that last one was always in shambles but this time she could blame it on something besides herself.

And it would remain as such until she stopped changing, which according to Izuku, would be sometime after he had no clue. Since he never had a clue, it should be any time now. And judging by how her sports bra was currently reminding her that it was on the tight side, wasn't now.

If this kept up she might actually end up taller than Izuku.

Which.

Which was tall.

While she currently wasn't the tallest person in her grade, let alone the tallest girl (nor was she the bustiest), she was easily in the top five of both categories. As it stood on athleticism, she was uhh, currently undefined. Her arms and legs were growing faster than her mind could get used to them.

"You're joking right?" Mina patted her on the back. "You're smoking hot, Eiko! So try not to catch anything on fire. Again."

Eiko covered her mouth and felt her cheeks flush. The fire systems had been engaged at least three times by her since she started breathing fire. It was mostly under control now, just so long as she didn't get too embarrassed. Which was hard. "I'm trying, but it's hard."

At least now she could breath fire whenever she wanted. Just not when she didn't want to.

"Oh come on!" Ruby Rose, the third member of their trio bounced up and slapped Eiko on the back as well. The short - well, now very short - girl was a ball of pure energy and joy that was a bit of a gun nut. Okay, a lot of a gun nut, but she was still a friend. "You look great Eiko! Mina did a great job on your hair! And I love your horns! And then there's the rest of you! Do you think your boyfriend can like, give me a small boost?"

Mina nodded.

"He's not my boyfriend." Eiko muttered, her hand feeling warm for a moment as flames licked her palm. "Besides, this isn't all that great. I don't have any clothes that fit and-"

"Guh, it's like those girls that complain about having big boobs, and how having small boobs is such a blessing, come on Eiko, just learn to enjoy your new body for a bit." Ruby laughed and looked up towards the center of the gym. They were up next for the jump vault. "Seriously, you're still you. No matter how tall, horny, or fiery you get."

Before Eiko could say that she was trying to get used to her body it was just changing faster than she could get used to, Ruby took off. Still, she did like the horns. And being tall was kind of neat. And her boobs were, well, boobs. Hopefully this was just the extent of the changes.

Eiko watched as Ruby slammed down onto the padded wooden pyramid that they were supposed to vault off of, the slender girl's athletic frame carried her up and over onto the mats beyond the pyramid where she landed with all the grace in the world.

The teacher nodded and waved for Mina to start running.

Much like Ruby, Mina had no problem with the vault jump, easily clearing the obstacle and landing with a bit of flourish, her arms up in the air like a V for victory.

Now it was her turn.

Eiko took a deep breath and shook her hands, bouncing like she used to do proved to be a slight mistake, but that was fine, she could do this. She could do this with her new, lanky body and totally not eat shit. Normally she wouldn't even be able to clear the jump and have to awkwardly scoot off, and if she did clear the hurdle, she was more than likely not standing afterwards.

But not this time.

This time she was totally going to kill it!

She had long legs that were great for jumping now!

She ran forward, keeping careful aim on the padded flat top of the pyramid. Each step took her further than she thought it would, and the time to jump approached even quicker than that. She let out a breath, no fire this time, and slammed both hands down onto the surface. Instead of propelling herself up and over the hurdle, she stayed about the same, and the hurdle - and the floor beneath it - were pushed downward.

The gym fell silent when she finally landed on the mats on the other side. And there was a bit of fire coming out of each of her panicked breaths. She had a feeling that being taller would make her a little bit stronger. But destroying the gym floor wasn't exactly what she was thinking when it came to extra strength. Sure, maybe her muscles were a bit more defined, but she just thought that was because all of her fat was going to her chest.

Apparently, she was stronger than she thought, a lot stronger.

"Eiko," Her sensei said softly and pointed towards the storage room. "Get the mop."

"Sensei!" Ruby shouted, jumping up and waving her hand. "That's not something a mop can fix!"

XXXX

Fortunately, schools were insured against the accidental quirk misfires.

Her social reputation on the other hand, was another story. Somehow in a world where Mina existed, Eiko was quickly becoming a freak. Well, a freak wasn't exactly the right word. Because of quirks, everyone was a little freak in some shape or fashion. It was more that Eiko was-

"Did you see that?" Ruby jumped up, clad in little more than her bra and panties, her gym shirt flailing around her as she waved her hands around frantically. "You were all like Baboom! And then everyone was all like wahhhhh? Did Eiko do that? And then we were all like yeah! Go Eiko! And then you were all Bwahhh! Fire breath! And the teacher was like sigh, and then I was like A mop can't fix that and then we went outside and then you kicked the ball and I think you scared the crap out of Yabi when that thing whizzed passed his head. Eiko! You're so awesome! You're going to be such a kick-ass hero!"

Ruby finally took a moment to catch her breath, her chest heaving. "You might even be better than All Might one day."

"Umm, thank you?" Eiko laughed, with how Ruby was putting things, maybe she didn't have to worry so much about it. "It wasn't weird or anything?"

She looked over at the other girls, most of them were still smiling about what she did. Or at Ruby's antics.

"It was weird," Mina leaned in close smiling. "But, that doesn't mean it wasn't cool. Well, at least Izuku won't have to worry about any guys trying to hit on you now."

Eiko pulled her gym shirt over her head, balled it up and tossed it into her locker. Leaving her in just her skirt and sports bra. "How many times do I have to tell you-"

"Yeah, yeah, he's not your boyfriend even though you're so into him." Mina rolled her eyes and then moved over to look at Eiko's back. "Hey, keep your shirt off for a second."

"Why? I'm aware that I'm still growing but-"

"Nah-nah, well yes, and damn girl, but it looks like you have some-"

The world came to an abrupt change. It was colder, a bit draftier, and she wasn't inside anymore. Mina, Ruby, and the rest of her classmates were nowhere to be seen. Instead. She was staring at a confused looking Izuku, his notebook in one hand and his pointer and middle extended and glowing.

"Hi." He half stammered staring at her. "I, umm, I think I found out that one of the symbols summons you."

"Hi?" she blinked back at him, confused as to just what the hell happened. Okay. So Izuku now had the ability to just make her appear in front of him that was great and more importantly. "Why are you taking off your sweater?"

Izuku pulled his arms out from his long black sweater and then pulled it over his head and handed it to her. His cheeks were red and he looked away from her. "You look good. I mean, well, you always look good, well maybe not always, but I mean, right now with your short red hair, you look good, and you're also not wearing a shirt so here. Sorry. I didn't know what it did. Sorry."

Oh. Right. She was topless. Save for sports bra.

"It's okay." She snagged his sweater from him and quickly put it on. Huh. So that's what Izuku smelled like. It was kind of nice. "Thanks. But shouldn't you be in class? And where are we?"

She looked around taking in the scenery of the junk yard she now found herself in. Also, she didn't have any shoes on. But she could just use her quirk on her feet and be mostly fine. Doing so was more comfortable than heels at least.

"Oh, I got excited and I couldn't stop thinking about the new symbols I learned from our marks. So I came here! Welcome to my lab. Well not really my lab. But oh, here." Izuku flipped open his notebook and pointed towards one of the markings she had on her chest. "This one, it's the one I used to summon you. Sorry about that again. I don't think you'll be able to make it back to class though."

"It's fine." So Izuku was the type to skip class. With how nerdy and smart he looked, she never would have guessed. And she wasn't really looking at his notebook, instead she was watching him explain things to her, a great big smile on his goofy freckled face. "But, can I use your phone? I should message Mina before she starts to freak out."

With Mina messaged and a reply of 'OMG,' Eiko sighed and looked around the junkyard. Izuku was sitting on the bed of a long forgotten rust covered truck and was diligently scribbling into his notebook. She moved back over and sat next to him, handing him back his phone. Well, she was already cutting, might as well make the most of things. Hopefully she could keep a conversation going without Mina to help.

"Hey, Izuku, do you know if there's a symbol that's supposed to be making me stronger?" She looked at her hand and blinked. "Because I might have destroyed some gym equipment today."

"Maybe, I know a symbol for a small strength boost but it's pretty temporary." Izuku flipped back to the page with her entire circle on it. "Some of these look like they could be derived from it, but I couldn't say for sure. How strong are you now?"

Strong enough to leave a crater in hardwood floor by accident. "I don't really know, I just really noticed it today, but stuff has been easier to lift recently."

"Well," Izuku crossed his legs and pointed at the junkyard around him. "There's lots of heavy stuff here if you want to try and find your limits. I umm, I can help if you want. Well I'm not sure how, but yeah."

"Oh, umm, that's a good idea. Thanks." Eiko smiled then bit on her lip and walked over towards a car frame, rolling up Izuku's sleeves as she did. It looked heavy and it might be a good place to start. She did completely destroy that equipment without really trying. She squatted down and grabbed onto the frame of the car and stood.

That was it. She just stood. The car frame came with her.

"Woah," She muttered staring at her most recent feat, the car had come with her, but the rusted metal was digging into her hands and it was starting to lean away from her and scraping her a bit. She activated her quirk, aiming for her whole body instead of just her feat.

A tear came from her back.

Panic came over her and she tossed the car away from her, it slammed into a wall of junk and was firmly embedded as she did. She wanted to see what tore but she looked at her hands. Or rather, her claws. Instead of her hands just being slightly sharp and hard, she now had red jagged claws coming out from her fingers. Looking down her feet were the same.

"So." She heard Izuku, he was just blinking and looking at her. "How long have you been growing wings?"

"Wings?" She asked and tried to look over her own shoulder.

Red scale covered wings barely a foot and a half long sprouted from her back, bits of Izuku's sweater and her sports bra could be seen hanging off of some of the sharp bits. She had wings. Not very big wings. But she had wings now. And claws.

She took a flame filled breath and deactivated her quirk. The claws, and the wings vanished, and over all she was normal again. Well, as normal as she had been since all this started happening to her. Curiosity got the better of her and she activated her quirk again. The wings tore through what remained of her bra and made the holes in Izuku's sweater larger, and the claws also returned.

Well, at least she didn't have to worry about having to live with wings forever.

"Sorry about your sweater." Eiko muttered, feeling the now large twin set of holes that had appeared in it. A large piece of her bra fell down onto the ground.

"I umm, don't worry about it. I can fix it." Izuku hopped up onto his feet and scratched the back of his head, his cheeks were as red as hers felt. "Umm, looks like you also destroyed your umm. Why don't we umm. I'll call Mina. Then we can umm, go get you some clothes."

He grabbed his phone and looked at her again. "Clothes made for wings. My uhh. My treat."

The school was so not going to be happy about this.

XXXX

"Come on Eiko! That should be your size! Big as that is." Mina shouted from just beyond the curtain. "Did you really grow again in the last-"

"It fits!" Eiko shouted back, sticking her head out of the curtain just long enough to glare at Mina. "Just give me a second."

Eiko glanced and saw Izuku, sitting there, a notebook in his hand though he looked up to meet eyes with her for just that one second. This was all his fault. At least he was taking responsibility for it. Still, why did he seem to have so much money? He was buying her a new set of clothes, speciality clothes, and was even giving her his sweater now. A sweater she ruined. But that was beside the point.

She pulled back into the changing room and sighed. The shirt was the same color and style as her school uniform. Save for a big difference, a large hole in the back for where her wings would sprout out from. They were designed for other people that had wings permanently, so there was a clasp at the collar to help put the shirt on. Eiko had several problems with this design, she was going to need to wear something other than a bra with it, or go around showing off her bra strap to everyone, and as Mina had tried to point out earlier, she had small red scales on her back. Right where the wings came out from.

Did they have backless bras? Did they even work? Were there ones that had the back strap lower? A corset?

Still though, once she got over the giant hole in the back of the white blouse she couldn't help but smile. Complete with the new skirt Izuku insisted on getting her - red and black to match her hair and horns - she did look really cute.

Alright. Time to let them see.

She opened the curtain and stepped out, trying not to smile too much. She kept one hand on her skirt and did a spin. "Well?"

Izuku looked at her speechless, his notebook clapping shut while his mouth opened just the slightest bit.

Mina was rendered the opposite of speechless. She pointed a finger up at Eiko then swung it towards Izuku. "If you don't marry her, I will!"

AN: I couldn't wait to write more of this. Level Up next.
